To re-paraphrase Mark Twain, tales of the demise of Halloween in Salem have been greatly exaggerated. We will have as much of our usual celebration as we can on Friday, October 30.
As with all our programs, we are trying to come up with a COVID version or as many things as possible. Obviously bobbing for apples is out (Bobbing for corona?) Hide but don’t seek? Who will NOT march along in the Halloween parade? Ring around the rosie? Opportunities abound….
Please see the masks, soap and other products we want to sell to raise money for Halloween and beyond… Please share to your social media… Also let us know if you would like masks or other items yourselves.
Kids should come in costume–same rules as always. No weapons, no full face masks. New plea from teachers.. PLEASE no glitter heavy outfits.. We are exhausted from all the extra cleaning as it is. Remember that we will still have to wear our regular masks, so take this into account.
Not sure treats are needed (or tweatsh, as a certain four year old says). Mr. Danny is accused of his usual ‘spoiling’ of the kids by buying too much candy in advance. Outrageous accusations! I never! Well maybe just a bit.
If you have a favorite, just ask and we will try to accommodate. Leftover snacks rarely go uneaten…
We will also have our own mini version of trick-or-treating at various doors on campus. No need for the kids to miss out on the experience.
Some great pics of kids doing neat stuff. Making soap, harvesting their own potatoes, learning to ride a bike.. or as we call it at Greenhouse, a Tuesday. Still love having them back (ask again in January…) More later… Thanks, D&J
